Presidents Items

· Bill Brown reported that the club lost close to $300 on the casino trip. This was the poorest attended trip in memory. He also reported that the trip to the flying Fish brewery in Somerdale was very good. Nine people showed up for that trip. The part-owner who was the tour guide agreed to talk to the club at some later date.

· Bill and Neil Wise visited the Air Mobility Museum in Dover Delaware as preparation for promoting a bus trip to that location. They were impressed with the tour and will investigate interest in such a trip on June 23.

· Bill also reported that his ad in the local newspaper as part of a membership drive has not appeared yet. He was assured by the paper that it would appear this week or next.

· Membership chairman Henry Leimkuhler reported no new member so far this year.

Old Business

· President Kille requested information on the 4^th of July parade. Bernie Schaming reported that the names of committee volunteers were given to Chairman Mike Underwood but no meeting has been scheduled. Charles Legge reported that Champ Goldie has agreed to participate with the 65 Club in the event.

· Bob Parsons reported that the Spring Luncheon is all set. He anticipates between 75 and 80 people will attend.  After considering the constraints on Julia Chen’s time, it was decided that we would have her play immediately after being seated for lunch and delay service for 10 minutes. This will provide a quiet atmosphere and allow their timely return to school.  Bill Brown reported that the video is not complete but assured the board that it will be ready for the luncheon.

· Bernie Schaming announced that the directory has been reproduced and is ready for assembly. The books will be available in time for the spring luncheon.

New Business

· Henry raised the possibility of having a pig roast as a possible recruiting event. After some discussion it was concluded that fall would be a good time to hold such an event. However, it is not too early to begin sampling the membership to determine if there is sufficient interest to warrant the effort involved.

· Charles Legge suggested having a picnic in the summer either before or after a business meeting. We have had such events before and they have been successful.

The meeting adjourned at 10:50Aam.

Respectfully submitted,

Bernie Schaming, Secretary
